With a huge array of popular brands and prices with pretty low markup, this site is ideal for purchasing brands unavailable in Singapore, especially if you’re only buying a few things at a time due to a low minimum amount required for free shipping. If you love collecting loose eyeshadow pans and need a Z-palette to store them in, Beauty Bay has one of the lowest prices online.

Brands to buy: Anastasia Beverly Hills, CoverFX, Makeup Geek

Ease of use: 4/5
Value for money: 4/5
Brand range: 3/5
Total: 11/15

While Beautylish ships to Singapore, it only shows you prices in US dollars, which can be an issue for some. It does however carry more of the quality brands and cult favourites that makeup artists love (like RMCA, Viseart and Natasha Denona). It is a fairly popular site, even in the US, which means the bestselling products are also more likely to sell out regularly.

Brands to buy: Natasha Denona, RMCA Makeup, Jeffree Star, Viseart, Charlotte Tilbury
Shipping: Free for orders over US$75

While the site could use some visual upgrades, it does boast quality beauty products at competitive prices. One highlight of the site is the daily sale with certain products on offer (up to 70 percent off and more) for a 24-hour period. The good things do sell out, and you aren’t getting a full range of products from all the brands, but it’s worth keeping an eye out for the new sale items each day.

Brands to buy: Products on offer that day
Shipping: Free for all orders over US$49.45

ASOS

Ease of use: 4/5
Value for money: 4/5
Brand range: 1/5
Total: 9/15

While ASOS is primarily fashion-focused, it does carry a fair few beauty products worth checking out. Since the prices for each brand tend to be slightly higher (just a few dollars, give or take), it’s only really worth trying out brands that aren’t available in Singapore or the ones on sale. We love a good sale and ASOS has plenty all year round, making it a great time to try out new and inexpensive products (as well as cute makeup bags).

Brands to buy: Rimmel, Nude by Nature, Barry M, Paul & Joe
Shipping: Free for all orders over S$64.99
